Improving Education Today: The Deep Dive

Davey and Angela use Dr. Howie Knoff's March 16, 2024 Blog to address the challenges schools face in selecting and implementing evidence-based programs. They highlight five common mistakes educators make when evaluating programs, emphasizing the need to move beyond simplistic metrics like effect sizes and to critically examine the research methodology.
They also advocates for replacing the terms "best practices" and "pilot projects" with "effective practices" and "field-tested," arguing that these changes foster more realistic expectations and collaboration.
Davey and Angela, through Dr. Howie, stress the importance of aligning chosen programs with a school's specific context and available resources for successful and sustainable implementation. Ultimately, they recommend a data-driven, context-aware approach to educational program selection and implementation.
